Yes! Think golf:
"Hmm... for this rally i think I'll use the arcsaber 10..."

You could even get a caddie to recommend the racket you should use!

Uh... seriously though, having 30 rackets is probably not necessary, but I think it's ideal to have 5-6 rackets all with different weights, flex and string tensions depending on how you're playing on a particular day or in a particular game. We've all had those times when some rackets just aren't working out for you.

well, in golf there's a different club for each type of swing/shot but in badminton there are not

It took me a few days of on-off surfing (5 minutes every now and then) to get through this 15 pages of lists, because I was really curious to know what rackets other people are using... and, wow!

Quite an extensive inventory, featuring all sorts of brands... but surprisingly, barely any Ashaways. Is there any specific reason for this? I'm wondering because I only have 1 racket, and it's an Ashaway Superlight 79. (shows that I'm quite the newbie!)

Anyway, I for one don't see the surprising/strange thing about owning lots of rackets. People collect all sorts of things for all sorts of reasons, and using them regularly in play shouldn't be the only justifiable reason for owning a racket. (think jewellery, watches, books, sneakers, stamps, even cars....)

I think its a human trait to collect lots of stuff that they like around them!

(btw - this is my first post. hello to all!)

and it is a post I agree with.

Although as you can see from the posts , people if they sold all their rackets - could probably buy a car .
